                                       - 13 -                                         
          resorts and what appear to be uniquely personal charges.  In                
          addition, petitioner could not explain the discrepancy between              
          the $763 shown on the reconstructed entertainment list and the              
          $2,422 he had claimed.  Nor could petitioner explain multiple               
          discrepancies between the master credit card summary and his                
          reconstructed entertainment list.  Moreover, petitioner failed to           
          produce receipts or any other corroborating evidence to comply              
          with the strict substantiation requirements of section 274(d).              
          Accordingly, we sustain respondent’s disallowing the meals and              
          entertainment expenses.                                                     
               To reflect the foregoing and the concessions of the parties,           

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                            under Rule 155.
